Knowledge Sharing Workshop with MIDO and Joosk

by Prasad Krishna — last modified Jun 18, 2015 01:48 AM

Sumandro Chattapadhyay led a knowledge sharing workshop with members of Myanmar ICT Development Organisation (MIDO) and Joosk, a design firm that works closely with MIDO.

The session focused on various types of charts and visualisations, and the appropriate contexts for using them, and also on a range of Free and Open Source Softwares that can be used to work with data — from collection and cleaning, to archiving and analysis, to static and web-based visualisation. The discussions focused mostly on data related to the Lighthouse CIC project that MIDO is doing, and also on the upcoming project of election monitoring in partnership with the Centre for Civic Technologies.

About Us

The Centre for Internet and Society (CIS) is a non-profit organisation that undertakes interdisciplinary research on internet and digital technologies from policy and academic perspectives. The areas of focus include digital accessibility for persons with disabilities, access to knowledge, intellectual property rights, openness (including open data, free and open source software, open standards, open access, open educational resources, and open video), internet governance, telecommunication reform, digital privacy, and cyber-security. The research at CIS seeks to understand the reconfiguration of social processes and structures through the internet and digital media technologies, and vice versa.

Through its diverse initiatives, CIS explores, intervenes in, and advances contemporary discourse and regulatory practices around internet, technology, and society in India, and elsewhere.
